On my four week trip to CCR this year I experienced everything from 101° and high humidity to 31° and pouring rain and sleet. I never to used the evaporative gear I bought for the trip nor did I need to use my Gerbing heated clothing. This is the best four season gear I have ever owned. It doesn't look as sexy as some of the Aerostich gear but it is custom made to your dimensions.

It worked very well for me but I don't have unrealistic expectations about the performance of hot weather gear in hot climates. I didn't use the evaporative gear because the only times I got hot was when evaporative gear wouldn't have done any good anyway. The bottom line is if there isn't good air flow mesh gear or evaporative cooling aides are not going to work worth a hoot. In stop and go urban traffic it will still be a hot sweaty ride. But then again it would be a hot sweaty ride if you were riding naked. At least with mesh gear you save money on sun tan lotion .

While I wonder what happened between you and Wayne, I'll never know unless you recoreded the conversations.

So far, you're the only one to report getting burned, seriously burned , and you've done a good job shouting it from the roof top.
Sorry--I've been there and done that with other vendors. It seems to happen about every 5 to 7 years to me, maybe when the moon if full on Friday the 13th. In fact, if there were a forum for off airport (Albuquerque) parking, I would be the one voice in a thousand to proclaim "they are rude, ignorant, control freaks."

If you think several others have serious complaints about Cycle Port, like yourself, maybe you should post a pole. If you do, please consider adding a option "great service" because that's what I and others have already expressed.

The purpose of the poll was for me to get a feel for how many people on this forum wear or might wear Cycle Port's Kevlar gear. ... it says something about the general safety awareness/culture of the group. IMO, safer gear does not yet exist . If and when it does, I'll be there with my checkbook!

It's very good gear,,, but I will take my TourGuard for winter and my Venting Machine for summer over the motoport gear....I think BMW gear is first rate....Regards Pete

Pete, I'm glad you like what you have. However, what do you do on those rides where the altitude and latitude changes rapidly? Layers with the Venting Machine gear?
I use to suffer with the leather in exteamly hot weather, so I could handle the very cold the next day. I started layering with Olympia gear, but I felt unprotected compared to my leathers.
